Signature Scents from Sweet Anthem Vegan Perfume

From shampoo to skin care products, organic is in and chemicals are out. The healthy trend even applies to perfume.

At a holiday gift show, I discovered Sweet Anthem Handmade Perfumes. Created by Meredith Tucker, the socially responsible perfume line is 100% vegan and comes in twenty-eight distinct, modern scents.

Each fragrance has a name and a story to tell. I'm partial to the earthy "Lizie," described as "the scent of proud and unapologetic Springtime" with bold notes of dirt (yes, dirt), rhubarb, neroli, moss, and tomato leaf.

"I love how stories -- even perfumes -- can communicate bits and pieces of everything we know about each other, where we come from, and where we're going," explains Tucker.

In case you're looking for a unique, last-minute Father's Day gift, Sweet Anthem also has masculine and unisex fragrances.

Prices range from $5 for a 2 ml travel size to $85 for a 2 oz. Eau De Parfum. For more information, visit Sweet Anthem online.

For those of us who struggled with acne as adolescents, the last thing we want to do is deal with adult acne. Like when we were teens, adult acne can be embarrassing and cause us to feel less confident at work and in social interactions.

What causes adult acne?
According to WebMD, adult acne is caused by sebum, an oily substance produced by the skin's sebaceous glands. Sebum clogs pores, which attracts bacteria and become inflamed.

For some adults, breakouts are a result of hypersensitivity or the overproduction of male hormones known as androgens. An imbalance in both male and female hormones (estrogen) can also cause breakouts.

In women, this can happen during pregnancy, perimenopause and menopause. Besides hormones, some medications and cosmetics also contribute to developing acne.

How to treat adult acne?Gentle cleansers are a good option. We apply our favorite cleanser to our Vitagoods Face & Body Cleansing Brush, and that routine has worked wonders for our skin. Since us…

It's the end of an era. Conway discount stores are closing. As of this weekend, a sign on the sole Herald Square location (34th Street btwn 7th and 8th Ave) says the store will close in "7 Days."

Before I relocated to New York City, I was introduced to the discount chain while on a bus trip from Baltimore. I recall the first time I saw Conway's signature pink bags carried by hurried shoppers in midtown. And Miss Foster, the trip organizer and a bargain hunter from way back, took me to the store for the first time.

When I moved here in 1994, my love affair with Conway continued. I furnished my first apartment with discount knick-knacks and home goods from the store. And much to my chagrin, in hindsight, I curated most of my wardrobe for my first full-time job from the long-shuttered 42nd Street and Third Avenue store.
